Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for icing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the surface of the dough.
Carefully roll the rectangle up from one long side, creating a log shape. Press the seam lightly to seal it.
Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 8 equal pieces. Place the pieces, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the scones lightly with heavy cream.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the scones cool, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled scones. Allow the icing to set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
